Monster extends Social Job Ads to Facebook

Monster.co.uk has announced it will extend its Social Job Ads platform to include Facebook, which it says will increase the overall reach of the product to over 60% of the UK internet population who regularly use the platform.

Monster Social Job Ads allow employers to connect with active users on Facebook and Twitter and are displayed through a unique targeting technology meaning they’re only visible to users relevant for the opportunity.

Andy Sumner, managing director UK & Ireland at Monster.co.uk, said, “In recent years, major technological developments have changed the way in which the recruitment industry searches for suitable candidates. With people increasingly relying on social media in their day to day lives, it’s only natural for recruiters and hiring managers to use it as part of the job hunt process. At Monster we recently launched our Social Job Ads platform which allows us to automatically target relevant candidates via Twitter, and we’re thrilled to announce this now includes Facebook, helping us to increase the number of suitable candidates in both the millennial and the wider UK workforce.”
